Trust Management in Fog Computing

Fog computing is an encouraging computational model that extends distributed cloud computing to the edge of systems. It varies to cloud computing with some of the attributes. Fog computing has new challenges while building and maintaining the trust among the fog nodes and with edge devices. The solutions applied for the various cloud challenges cannot be directly applied for fog computing. This chapter gives an overview of these difficulties and relates solutions in a concise way. It also highlights the open challenges that still exist in fog computing.
